Random ramblings from today
by dc0de at 7:37 pm EDT, May 29, 2006

Here are just some of my thoughts for today...

How can companies be "secure" when they allow their "bell" entrance facilities wide open? jonnyx and I were driving around this afternoon, and we passed through an office park, where several companies share the same physical buildings, and share a central "bell" entrance facility. Of those we observed, several of them without locks, those with locks were trivial to open, and one was actually ajar.

What is the big deal? Well, in the building that the entrance facility was ajar, there was several computer stores, a travel agent, a lawyers office, and a theraputic spa and tanning salon. Name the companies here that take credit cards, or other transmit sensitive information about their customers? (uhh, that'd be all of them.)

How easy would it be to install a tap that copyied the data from their T-1 and/or phone lines? Since this office space is shared, it would be very difficult to trace, and there were no cameras at the facility, most of the goings-on would be un-observed.

Frightening. Simply Frightening...
